Project: Caravel
A Swiss bank account in your pocket.
For a century, a Swiss bank account meant one thing: your money was yours, and no
one else’s business. That privilege was for the few.
Caravel puts it in your pocket. Built on the Ootle, Tari’s confidential smart
contract layer, it’s the start of a private neo bank, expanding privacy services one
at a time. Nothing to install, and your keys never leave your device.
Live today:
Wallet. Hold funds privately or publicly, and disclose only when you choose. Send,
receive, and move between private and public at will, revealing only what you want.
Chat. Private messages and private money in one conversation. Messages are end to end
encrypted over Nostr and wrapped so relays can’t read them or see who sent them, with
payments built right into the chat.
Instead of sharing a raw key, you can register a @name through Caravel Name Service.
The name is registered on chain in a Tari Ootle template and tied to your Nostr
identity, so anyone can find you and start an encrypted conversation with a simple
handle.
How it works:
Everything happens on your device. One recovery phrase powers both your wallet and
your chat identity, and every transaction is signed locally in your browser, nothing
to install and no keys to hand over. Caravel talks only to public Ootle indexers and
Nostr relays, never a server of ours.
What’s next:
We’re expanding Caravel into the everything app for private finance. Our team is now
researching the feasibility of bringing wrapped assets onto the Ootle, giving Bitcoin,
Monero, and Zcash programmable privacy for the first time.
